What do reviewers say about Guet Apens and XXY?
Powdery florals aren't everyone's language. But if you've been looking for a Guerlain that doesn't announce itself, that earns attention slowly, this is it.Guet Apens
The iris in XXY presents a compelling contradiction. Its powdery quality emerges first, soft and approachable, but beneath that surface lies something sharper, more clinical.XXY
